Chapter 30: The Kind of Bullying That Makes You Suffer

Wen Yao sat by the campfire, poking the firewood with fire tongs: “No matter how much we get, I take seven, you three.”

Qiu Zhi: “Hey, you’re even stingier than yesterday…”

Jin Yiwen, who was beside him, pulled Qiu Zhi: “Brother Zhi, don’t fight with the boss, look at all the zombies we encountered today, the boss was the only one killing them, what else can we do besides standing guard?”

Another girl, Bei Xiaoduo, also chimed in softly: “If it wasn’t for the boss, we’d be dead by now… how could we still be alive?”

Seeing the three girls ganging up on him, Qiu Zhi had no choice but to nod: “Alright, you wait, next time I’ll definitely kill more zombies for you to see!”

Wen Yao ignored their conversation, put down the fire tongs, and counted the silver coins in her hand.

After counting them again and again, she had only saved these few silver coins in the past half month. One hundred silver coins could be exchanged for one gold coin, and it would take a long time to collect ten.

“…”

It seemed that this cheap labor was truly cheap, it was not worth much.

Wen Yao was worrying about this when she suddenly heard a noise in the grass outside the house. She grabbed her iron knife and went out to take a look. She found a slow-moving, lame zombie.

The zombie smelled the scent and came towards the doorway. Because this zombie moved slowly, Wen Yao called Bei Xiaoduo and picked up the shovel on the ground and gave it to her: “You deal with this zombie, practice.”

The shovel was originally her weapon, but after she got a more convenient iron knife, she gave the shovel to Bei Xiaoduo.

Bei Xiaoduo looked at the zombie’s terrifying form, her hands holding the shovel were shaking: “I… I still… I still can’t…”

This zombie was just an ordinary lame zombie, one of the earliest ones to appear. It was only terrifying in appearance, but its actual attack power was weak. Wen Yao didn’t understand why she was so afraid:

“Just use the shovel to hit its head, it’ll be gone in one hit.”

Qiu Zhi couldn’t stand it anymore: “Why don’t I do it?”

Wen Yao refused: “No, let her do it.”

Bei Xiaoduo originally came to F camp with her boyfriend. In the past two years, she had been living off her boyfriend’s support. But three months ago, her boyfriend died unexpectedly, so she became the common toy of a certain group. Every day, they would beat and kick her, and humiliate her at will.

Wen Yao beat those people up and saved Bei Xiaoduo, letting her come out with them, just so she could learn to grow.

But Bei Xiaoduo was still weak and timid. Every time she saw a zombie, she would only hide behind others, never being brave once.

Seeing that the zombie was about to come over, Bei Xiaoduo was so scared that she dropped the shovel on the ground, her whole body kept shrinking back, tears almost falling: “I… I’m sorry, I’m really scared…”

Wen Yao sighed, threw away the iron knife and picked up the shovel. But she didn’t kill the zombie, she agilely went around behind the zombie, reached out to grab its neck, dragged it into the house and threw it on the ground, then stepped on the back of its head.

The zombie let out a terrifying roar, struggling, its whole body flowing with smelly pus, its limbs twitching wildly, its appearance was extremely strange and terrifying.

Bei Xiaoduo screamed in fear, Jin Yiwen also stood up, not knowing what Qiu Yao was trying to do.

Wen Yao stepped on the zombie, and said to Bei Xiaoduo: “I won’t stay with you for too long, if I help you like this, and you still can’t overcome your fear, then you can only go back to being a plaything for those men to trample on at will.”

Bei Xiaoduo’s tears fell: “No, I don’t want to go back…”

Wen Yao handed her the shovel, and kicked the zombie towards her: “Then kill it.”

The zombie turned over and lunged at Bei Xiaoduo. At the critical moment, Bei Xiaoduo screamed, closed her eyes, and started hitting the zombie’s head with the shovel.

She kept hitting the zombie until its brains splattered and it stopped moving. Bei Xiaoduo then leaned against the wall, sat down weakly, panting…

Wen Yao watched silently, kicked the zombie aside: “Was it difficult?”

Bei Xiaoduo first nodded, then shook her head. She looked up at Wen Yao, her eyes still filled with fear, but she still understood her intention: “…Thank… thank you, I’m not so scared anymore.”

After they sat back down, they didn’t dare to sleep because they were unsure if the area was safe.

Qiu Zhi looked at Wen Yao, not knowing what he was thinking, and asked: “Boss, what kind of person were you before? Your skills are not like ordinary refugees…”

“It doesn’t matter.” Wen Yao sat with her knees hugged, drawing circles on the ground with a wooden stick. Her whole body was small, and if you hadn’t seen her ruthless killing of zombies, it would be hard to imagine that she was actually a big shot.

Qiu Zhi choked, and said again: “Speaking of which, wasn’t the camp leader of D camp interested in you? He’s tall and handsome, why didn’t you go with him?”

“If you were with him, you could go to D camp with just his word, why bother saving up coins like this?”

Jin Yiwen also chimed in when she heard this: “It seems like it’s not just D camp, the camp leader of our F camp and the camp leader of the neighboring Camp C seem to be interested in our boss…”

Qiu Zhi waved his hand: “F camp is no good, he’s already over thirty, too old. The camp leader of Camp C is also no good, too promiscuous, I heard he slept with a lot of girls. They’re not worthy of our boss.”

Bei Xiaoduo’s mood had recovered now, and she joined the conversation: “What about Captain He who guards the city? He’s also young and promising…”

Qiu Zhi: “Let me think, I heard he’s the commander of the ancient castle villa area? Oh, not bad, he must have money and resources.”

Because Wen Yao had numerous suitors these days, they all agreed that she was born beautiful, she must be someone who could rely on her face to eat, she would definitely not stay in the bottom-tier F camp for long and live this miserable life.

Wen Yao looked at Qiu Zhi.

Qiu Zhi was very serious: “I’m serious, you have such a face, it’s a gift from heaven, why suffer here?”

“If I looked like you, I would rely on my face to eat, just pick any devoted hero warrior and I could lie down and eat and drink without worries…”

Wen Yao didn’t pay any attention to him, she lowered her head and continued to doodle on the ground.

But at this moment, the wooden stick in her hand stopped, and her eyes became serious: “You listen…”

Qiu Zhi looked up: “Listen to what?”

Bei Xiaoduo and Jin Yiwen looked at each other, also confused.

Wen Yao snapped the wooden stick in her hand, stood up and grabbed her iron knife: “The zombie tide is coming, hundreds at least, thousands at most.”

As soon as she said this, the three of them were terrified.

Bei Xiaoduo and Jin Yiwen looked terrified.

Qiu Zhi couldn’t believe it: “What?! Boss, don’t scare me…”

But they could already hear the sounds from afar. The cold wind whistled through the trees, accompanied by the sound of a wooden stick breaking, and the strange sounds of zombie roars and sticky sounds came from afar.

Wen Yao looked at the iron knife in her hand, a little worried.

If she had the Silver Moon Knife, it would be fine, she could deal with hundreds of zombies. But with this broken iron knife, it was blunt and heavy, she could only kill one or two at a time. Even if she could barely protect herself, the other three would be finished.

This was still conservative, if there were powerful mutated zombies in the zombie horde, then she would be finished too…

Bei Xiaoduo was so scared that she quickly closed the windows: “What if we close the windows and block the door, and we hide inside?”

Wen Yao: “No use, they’re very strong, they’ll break in.”

A simple glass window would shatter in an instant.

“Roar—” A terrifying long howl came from the zombie horde in the distance, Bei Xiaoduo trembled with fear, she was about to cry: “Then what should we do?”
